[Starlink] Fondag

[Bruce Perens]

I found it interesting that the pad was constructed of Fondag. This is pure
calcium aluminate cement. The cement and aggregate are both made of the
same clinker, there's just a difference in size of the particles. The
aggregate doesn't simply have a physical bond to the cement, there is a
chemical bond as well. The aggregate and cement are non-porous. Fondag can
resist thermal cycling from -395 to 2000 F. It doesn't shed lime.
